Those who received emails from Outlook users with a certain data file accompanying the message might be familiar with this. It is winmail.dat file that may contain some items inside, like pictures, HTML or text documents for example.
Pulling those files stored in the archive can be done with a utility like WMDecode. Very light in size and a breeze to operate, this program will enable you draw out all the items contained in the above mentioned Outlook attachment.
You will be able to process the winmail.dat file in two ways: by dragging and dropping it onto the icon of the executable or by calling it via command-line and using the file name as the argument that will trigger the extraction.
